Car Life coverage of the '69 Lime Rock Trans-Am race, courtesy of Mike K (Swede70). Sam Poseywon this race as a substitute driver for Peter Revson. Most of the regular stars of the Trans-Am serieswere running at Indianapolis since that race was the same weekend. This is the last win for the Shelbyteam in the Trans-Am series.

Thanks for that little tidbit, John. I knew the team Javelins started last, since they didn't arrive in time for qualifying. However, there must have been something good going on for them to get up into third and fourth! It may very well tell more of the story of Kaplan, the Javelins, and the reported 480 hp......MIS is a horsepower track! :^)
